​Lily Atwood is a TV personality and reporter who presents a seemingly “perfect” persona. #perfectLily isn’t quite as perfect as she seems, and her producer’s job is to not only help find stories for Lily to cover, but to help protect her perfect image. These two even have a mystery source that has supplied them with intel on some big stories - but then their source begins to share Lily’s personal info with her producer - information that Lily hasn’t shared with anybody. 


How does their source know about Lily’s missing sister or about the father of Lily’s child? And what is his motivation? These questions drive the story of Her Perfect Life forward to its shocking conclusion. 

Hank Phillipi Ryan has written another edge of your seat, nail biting thriller! You won’t be able to put this one down. Coming to shelves September 14, 2021. Thanks to Hank Phillipi Ryan, NetGalley, and Forge Books for the advanced copy!

​Reckless Girls is another fantastic thriller by Rachel Hawkins! Her first novel, The Wife Upstairs, was a gripping page turner, and Hawkins does not disappoint with this sophomore novel.

Lux is living in Hawaii with her boyfriend; they are working to save up money to repair his boat and sail around the world. Nico, her boyfriend, meets a couple of college aged girls that offer him an obscene amount of money to sale them to Meroe Island. Meroe is deserted, but there are many sinister tales of individuals meeting their demise while on the wild shores of Meroe. 

Lux and Nico agree to sale the girls to Meroe, but upon arriving after days of sailing, they discover that they are not the only ones seeking adventure on the isolated island. Although the two groups befriend each other, there are the expected tensions between groups of people staying together that are essentially strangers, and this propels the story to its unexpected ending. 

Reckless Girls is the story of 6 individuals on the isolated shores of Meroe and how their experience changes each of them and brings out their true colors. The story is mostly told from Lux’s point of view as she develops her sense self and her own dreams for her future. I couldn’t put this one down!! What a page turner - I kept trying to connect the pieces! Not one to start at bedtime. You’ll want to grab a copy of this when it’s available; you can pre-order using the link below!!
